Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFinite Element Analysis of Composite Hardened Walls Subjected to Blast LoadsGirum S. UrgessaProblem statement: There is currently no standard design guideline to determine the number of composites needed to retrofit masonry walls in order to withstand a given explosion. Past design approaches were mainly based on simplified single-degree-of-freedom analysis. A finite element analysis was conducted for concrete masonry walls hardened with composites and subjected to short duration blast loads. Approach: The analysis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,276 accessesView PDFCite

AriffinProblem statement: The use of fracture mechanics techniques in the assessment of performance and reliability of structure is on increase and the prediction of crack propagation in structure play important part. The finite element method is widely used for the evaluation of SIF for various types of crack configurations. Source code program of two-dimensional finite element model had been developed, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,848 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOn the Use of Rolling Element Bearings' Models in Precision MaintenanceIoannis S. Zotos, Theodore N. CostopoulosProblem statement: Rolling element bearings form a very important part of machinery. The increasing demands on their continuous reliable operation under diverse environments make maintenance a very important step towards the efficient use of them. To this end, precision maintenance is a very useful practice, since it deals not only with finding a possible fault of a machine, but also … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,419 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDevelopment of Efficient Finite Element Software of Crack Propagation Simulation using Adaptive Mesh StrategyAbdulnaser M. Alshoaibi, A. K. Ariffin, M. N. AlmaghrabiThe purpose of this study is on the determination of 2D crack paths and surfaces as well as on the evaluation of the stress intensity factors as a part of the damage tolerant assessment. Problem statement: The evaluation of SIFs and crack tip singular stresses for arbitrary fracture structure are a challenging problem, involving the calculation of the crack path … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,830 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Study of the Effect of Infilled Brick Walls on Behavior of Eccentrically Braced Frames Using Explicit Finite Elements MethodAmir Saedi Daryan, Masood Ziaei, Ali Golafshar et al.Problem statement: Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) are usually infilled by masonry walls, but in common design, the stiffness and lateral resistance of these walls is ignored. Considering the results of carried out tests and studies, it seems that infilled masonry walls have a significant influence on the stiffness and the strength of EBFs. Since experimental test of total frame with … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,196 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFinite Element and Experimental Serviceability Analysis of HSC Beams Strengthened with FRP SheetsSeyed Hamid Hashemi, Reza Rahgozar, Ali Akbar MaghsoudiThe use of externally bonded composite sheets or laminates is by now a diffuse technique to strengthen existing RC structures. However, some aspects of flexural condition still need experimental and numerical analysis; furthermore, especially for serviceability checks, there is a lack of code provisions. Six reinforced high strength concrete (HSC) beams strengthened with FRP sheets were fabricated and tested, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,445 accessesView PDFCite
